- 7. LIMITATIONS
- =====================================================================
- Synchronisation
-
- If there is more data in the PIM than allowed in the phone, the
- synchronisation will complete successfully, but some items are not
- synchronised to the phone. It is a good rule to check the
- number of items in the phone from time to time to make sure that
- there is enough space for new items to be synchronised.
-
- Under "Sync Manager -> Settings -> Conflict policy" there
- is an option "Use the item last modified". This option is only applicable
- to data types Calendar and Tasks, for data types Contacts and Notes this
- option will actually result in "Keep item in the PC and overwrite item
- in the device", since these data types does not support a last changed date.
